A Metropolitan Police spokesperson said officers responded on April 9 to a report of sexual assault at an address in Croydon and arrested a man in his 30s on suspicion of the offence. Police later said that after reviewing available evidence, including CCTV footage and digital devices, the investigation had concluded that “the evidential threshold had not been met” and no further action would be taken.

ADELEKE SLAMS REPS MEMBER OKE OVER CALL TO DEREGISTER ACCORD PARTY. (PHOTO)


 Adeleke slams Reps member Oke over call to deregister Accord Party


Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke, on Sunday criticised a member of the House of Representatives representing Obokun/Oriade Federal Constituency, Oluwole Oke, over his call on the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to deregister the Accord Party ahead of the 2026 governorship election.

The Nation recalls that Oke had urged INEC to deregister the Accord Party, arguing that the party has no elected officials in public office in line with Section 225A of the Constitution.

Responding through his spokesperson, Olawale Rasheed, in a statement on Sunday, Governor Adeleke said the All Progressives Congress (APC) was obsessed with pursuing illegal and unconstitutional means against the Osun state government.

He described Oke as a laughing stock in what he called a desperate attempt to please his new masters within the APC fold, adding that Accord had, within a short period of its unveiling by the governor, emerged as a party of victory and triumph.

“As the APC is desperately working to financially strangulate Osun state by withholding local government allocations in the evil scheme to punish the voters into submission, it is equally plotting to destroy the ruling party in the state. That is not democracy; that is a recipe for democratic chaos.

“The APC strategy so far is built on undemocratic plots and scheming rather than contend with the electorate who have serious questions for Mr Bola Oyebamiji and the top hierarchy of the APC. If the APC is sure of its electoral potency, the party should drop the evil plot to destroy the Accord and let the fight be taken to the voters.

“Governor Adeleke has delivered in several sectors as attested to by local and international observers. In this yuletide period, Osun diaspora across the world are seeing first hand and hearing testimonies about the impressive performance of Governor Adeleke in the last three years. 

“The governor has delivered across sectors with Osun emerging the best in south west on primary health care; with Osun moving from 33rd position under APC to number 7th position in NECO and WAEC ratings; with sport sector undergoing policy reform under an ongoing five star upgrade and renovation of Osogbo city stadium; with science and innovation receiving policy and implementation attention; with tractors and input support now available to farmers; with over 250 kilometres of roads constructed statewide; with over 100 billion naira pension and half salary debt paid; with close to four billion naira allocated to cooperatives and artisans financing; with ease of doing business attracting investment and booming PPP sector.”

He challenged the APC candidate to run on his party’s records from 2018 to 2022 across the sectors, noting that “Governor Adeleke is running on his own records from 2022 to date. And comparing the two eras, the jury is out—Governor Adeleke surpassed 12 years of APC rule under three years.”
